Punjabi (also Panjabi) is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by the Punjabi people in India, Pakistan and other parts of the world.

It is also spoken in neighbouring areas such as Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. Punjabi is the predominantly spoken language in the Punjab province of Pakistan (and the most widely spoken language in Pakistan according to the CIA factbook), although it has no official status there and both Urdu and English are preferred languages of the elite.
